Cartoonist & Illustrator
I use cartoons, comics, and sketchy illustrations with elements of realism to tell stories and explain things.
Drawing to stay sane...
Professional Journey...
My early educational background in creative writing includes A Levels in English Literature, Psychology, and Art; and a DipHE in English Literature from Westminster University of London. Later, I completed a BA Film & Media degree and a Postgraduate Certificate in Screenwriting at Birkbeck University of London.
I pursued a career in professional content writing over the following decade, writing for a variety of lifestyle online publications and developing my skills in structural storytelling, online marketing and seo.
I am now going back to my creative roots to explore an exciting new direction as a narrative cartoonist and illustrator. I am currently developing my style and portfolio, while seeking opportunities to work with businesses and brands on meaningful projects.
I began drawing cartoons to process my feelings after being diagnosed with a mental health disorder, and I later used cartoons to express the frustration of being unemployed and struggling to find work.
Most recently, I spent a year drawing daily diary comics to navigate my experience of tapering off an antidepressant following work burnout and redundancy. I am currently developing this body of work into a graphic memoir. You can read the original diary comics on my blog or on Substack
Work with me...
I am interested in any illustration project or commission that involves helping to tell a story, convey information in an accessible way, or bring ideas to life.
I am especially interested in single-panel cartoons, short narrative comic strips and series, editorial illustration, drawn journalism and visual columns, illustrated non-fiction books, and graphic novels/memoirs.
